Mat 23:34[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]some[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]of them ye shall kill and crucify; and[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]some[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]them[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]from city to city:[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]

Mat 23:36[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Their generation, not ours, would be judged.
Mat 23:37[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]thou[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]her[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]wings, and ye would not![SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 23:38[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 23:39[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]is[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]he that cometh in the name of the Lord.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 22:1[SIZE=14pt] And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, [/SIZE]
Mat 22:2[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 22:3[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 22:4[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]my[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]fatlings[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]are[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]killed, and all things[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]are[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]ready: come unto the marriage.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 22:5[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]But they made light of[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]it,[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 22:6[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]And the remnant took his servants, and entreated[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]them[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]spitefully, and slew[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]them.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 22:7[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]But when the king heard[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]thereof,[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 22:8[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Mat 22:9[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
Heb 10:1[SIZE=14pt] For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [/SIZE]and[SIZE=14pt] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Moses, being a likeness of Christ, led the children of Israel to the border of the promised land. Because of their unbelief, they were not allowed to enter into that land for 40 years.[/SIZE]
